Ductwork cleaning in Sherfield on Loddon, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer, on horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Sherfield on Loddon questions
Which environmental health team covers Sherfield on Loddon?

What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you cover Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes. We work in Sherfield on Loddon and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a village or hamlet like Sherfield on Loddon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. If the system at a site near Sherfield on Loddon fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Sherfield on Loddon

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
